Brief Character History

Tony Harris arrived in Llanview in 1975 with hopes of finding his birth father. Dorian Lord (then married to Victor) knew Tony was Victor's illegitimate son and willingly kept it secret so she could get her hands Victor's money. For nearly a year, Dorian kept the paternity a secret until one day Tony discovered his mother Dorothy's diary and it revealed that Victor Lord was his father. Dorothy was the sister of Victor's deceased wife, Eugenia. Devastated that the truth was kept secret, Victor suffered a massive stroke and was unable to speak to anyone about Tony. Before Tony could confront Victor about his new found family, Victor died under mysterious circumstances.

After Victor's death, Dorian had his will changed and left Tony penniless. Now working for his father's paper, "The Banner", Tony began to get used to his new relatives and was reunited with his long-lost love Pat Kendall, who now has a son named Brian. When Tony and Pat told Brian that Tony was his father, Brian ran out into the street and was killed by car. Devastated by his son's death, Tony put his energy into his work. One day in 1983, Tony was covering a story in Beirut, Lebanon, when his helicopter crashed, killing him.

In 1987, Viki had a brain tumor and had out-of-body experience in which she was reunited her loved ones (her father, Victor, her sister, Meredith, Joe Riley and finally her brother Tony, who advised her time wasn't up).
